"Mastodon is not the Fediverse" is the new "GNU's not Unix" or "It's -GNU- Linux"

Mathematician John Conway was born #OTD in 1937. He made broad and profound contributions across all of mathematics, but he is maybe best known by the general public for his "game of life" cellular automaton. Conway passed away in 2020, from COVID-19.

If a person checks their watch while you’re talking, it’s probably because they’re timing you and this is a competition. Keep talking. It’s win-time baby. You got this.

I hate it

I gave a glib answer when my daughter asked what I wanted for #Christmas . I now have world peas.

Whoever did this pixel art is awesome .. such is the 90s vibe #retrocomputing. Edit: Someone reached privately and told me about the source/artist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_YQsnIMKs/ so credit goes to them.

On how many Mastodon hosts do you have an account? (Please boost for wide sampling, thanks)

I have spent the last two days working on making good quality SVG versions of the logo/symbols for #fediverse projects and I feel like it was worth it. I think the hard/less fun part of this project is getting them out there for all to use. I am pretty unfamiliar with submitting to Wikimedia Commons that is probably the best place for them to all live

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

I’m mostly here to share bird photos I don’t know anything about boosting or quotes or anything and honestly kinda weary of reading about it. Where’s the people who just post their photos?

An impossibly pretty snow scene, from a while ago. Above Scargill House, near Kettlewell in the Yorkshire Dales.

My response rates for polls on Twitter were 1-2%.

On Mastodon, it's 15-20%.

Twitter and Facebook throttle our natural engagement with our friends and family and colleagues.

They do it so brands will buy ads to reach people who already follow them.

I didn't realise how pronounced the effect is.

I'm angry.

For years, my connection with the people I care about has been diminished, intentionally, to support a losing advertising scheme.

I want that time with my friends and family back.
